How long does abortion bleeding last? How to improve it?

Many women choose to have an abortion, so the bleeding caused by abortion is something that many women want to pay full attention to. Because abortion will inevitably cause more bleeding and it will take a longer time, so many women will fully understand how long the bleeding will last? How to improve it? The following is a detailed introduction so that you can have a comprehensive understanding.

During abortion, there may be a small amount of bleeding in the wound left on the uterine wall after the placenta is separated. This will manifest as red or light red secretions flowing out within a week, and the amount will decrease from large to small and gradually stop. So how long does it take for the bleeding to stop after an abortion? In fact, due to different physical conditions and circumstances of each person, the duration of bleeding after an abortion is also different. Usually, bleeding will stop in a few days or so after an abortion, and no more than two weeks at most. A painless abortion with less trauma may even stop bleeding that same night.

Some people may only have bleeding for 2-3 days, and some may not even have any bleeding. This is all normal. If the amount of vaginal bleeding exceeds the amount of menstrual blood, lasts for more than two weeks, or the discharge has a foul odor and is accompanied by symptoms such as fever and abdominal pain, you should seek medical attention promptly. If you want to reduce bleeding after an abortion, you should do the following:

1. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva, wash it with warm water 1 to 2 times a day, change menstrual pads frequently, do not take a sitz bath before vaginal bleeding has stopped, and do not have sexual intercourse within one month. To avoid pregnancy again, contraceptive measures should be taken as soon as the couple resumes their sexual life after an abortion.

2. Pay attention to rest after the abortion surgery. It is best to rest in bed for the first three days. Generally, physical labor and physical exercise should be avoided within half a month. Keep warm, avoid drinking cold drinks, and prevent catching a chill.

3. Eat more nutritious foods, such as chicken, eggs, milk, bean products, as well as fresh vegetables and fruits. Avoid spicy foods such as chili peppers, alcohol, etc. The best time for nourishing is half a month. For those who are weak, have poor physical condition, or have lost a lot of blood, the nourishing time can be appropriately extended as appropriate.
